Early April in Brixton Market

Some twelve artists braved a very cold April day to sketch in Brixton Market. This proved to be a uniquely exciting and diverse slice of London life. The covered market is being gentrified but there is still a good range of African vegetable and textile stalls, together with cafes and craft shops. The railway runs overhead very nearby adding a Hogarthian feel to the location. There is also a David Bowie mural on the other side of the road from the station which adds to the excitement. We were glad that the market is covered which gave some protection from the elements. Case Morita, an owner run Mexican restaurant, proved a good lunch time venue to share ideas and recuperate.
In spite of the cold the artists produced an amazing amount of exciting work, which we hope you will enjoy below. I hope it is all included.
The next outing will be to Leicester Square on 30 April. More details to be published shortly on this blog
